Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

  • "The solution has helped with collaboration in our organization."
  • "Being able to have the S3 files as storage is most valuable. We can use S3 as storage instead of an SFTP server or a machine."
  • "The solution offers good data recovery."

Room for Improvement

  • "The tool's UI should be pretty easy and straightforward. I would also like to see a simple audit report of the SFTP guest account that shows the amount of data transfers and security kind enabled."
  • "Its cost needs improvement. In addition, there could be a universal client that works on all desktops."
  • "Could be more automated, particularly for file transfers."

Pricing

  • "It's $249 per month per instance. It's not great; it's pretty pricey. We've got multiple users on that one instance. If we had to build it by hand, we would win on cost there, but obviously, there is effort and time.In terms of the additional costs, they do have some specific pricing, but for our use case, we don't end up going over $249. They do specify in their pricing what they're charging for."

AWS Transfer for SFTP [EOL] Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Chief Technology Officer at Revio4.5We use AWS Transfer for SFTP to handle file-based protocols with third-party systems efficiently. It integrates seamlessly with S3 storage and automates file handling, though the service could benefit from cost improvements and a universal client for all desktops.
Software Engineer Intern - Backend at a computer software company with 51-200 employees4.5No summary available
Technology Leader at a non-profit with 51-200 employees3.0I appreciate AWS Transfer for SFTP's security features, though I find its user interface could be more intuitive. Additionally, an audit report summarizing data transfers and security would be beneficial. From an IT perspective, I see value in the solution.
